How To Generate A Ton Of Traffic With A Social Media Plugin


So one of the many ways you can generate traffic to your blog is by usingsocial media websites such as Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, etc.  And as everyone knows traffic = money in the blogging world.  So what I’ve done is setup profiles as best as I could (more work still to be done) on some of these social websites and then what I did was install a social media widget on my wordpress blog that would link to all my profiles. The benefit of this is that when people visit your site they can click on your social media profiles and follow you there and then hopefully return back to your site at a later date or share your page with others and make your site more popular in the long run.
How To Install The Social Media Plugin?
First of all you are probably wondering what the name of the plugin is. Well the one I’ve installed on my blog is called – Social Media Widget.  I found it by doing a Google search for social media plugins for wordpress.  It is a pretty nice plugin that is easy to install. In order to install it you can do the following steps:
  1. Download the plugin from the link above
  2. Upload the social-media-widget folder and all its contents to /wp-content/plugins
  3. At this point you’ll need to activate the plugin so when you are logged in to your wordpress admin section you will click on plugins on the left and find the plugin and check the box and activate the plugin
  4. Then you’ll go to Appearance -> Widgets and activate the widget (Social Widget) in the appropriate sidebar.
  5. At that point you can customize all the options and save it
  6. You’ll now see the widget on the right or left sidebar of your wordpress blog
What Features Does This Widget Include?
Well there are couple of great features I think it includes such as:
  • It supports a TON of social media sites
  • You only need to link to the ones you have profiles for. You can turn off the rest of the icons
  • There is numerous icon sizes from 16×16 to 64×64
  • There are 4 different icon packs. They are all very awesome I might add
  • You can even create your own custom pack of icons if you want
  • Choose from multiple types of animations (including Fade In, Scale, Bounce, etc)
  • Set whether or not the profile pages open in a new window or not
  • Align the widget however you like (left, right, center)
How It Will Generate You Traffic
So at this point you may be asking how will this simple widget generate traffic to my blog?  The answer to that is pretty simple. Once people find your site they have the opportunity to click on your social media links. At this point they can follow you and share your information with others. Then they can come back to your site once they see interesting information showing on your social media sites and they can also bring their friends along.  The more word of mouth you get the more traffic you get. And then the more traffic the get the more money you’ll make as long as you monetize your blog properly.
How Do You Track This
The best way to track to see if you are going more traffic from social media sites isGoogle Analytics. At least that is what I like to use. It has so much good information it is hard to give it up. It will tell you all the vital information you need to know about your visitors of your website. Almost too much information. At least more information then you could ever ask for. So this is how you know where you traffic is coming from. You signup for google analytics. You sign-in.  View report on the website you want to look at. Click on Traffic Sources on the left. Then look at the sources on the bottom. You’ll see a bunch of sources hopefully (if you are getting some decent traffic).  And you’ll notice some of them will say (organic) or (referral) next to them.  The social media sites you are getting traffic from will most likely be referral sources. you can then look to see how much traffic you are getting from your social media profiles. If you aren’t getting much don’t worry it takes time. Keep modifying your social media profiles. Keep advertising them and keep working at it. Nothing happens over night.  Blogging takes a ton of work.
Summary
How do you make a lot of traffic with social media plugins? You first make sure your have some social media profile pages setup. You install the plugin. You setup the plugin to the way you want it. You can advertise it in a blog post (like I have).  You can keep making sure your social media profiles are up to date and new content is added.  You can track it using Google Analytics. Then you can see where the traffic takes you. It’s a great new source of traffic you never thought you’d have in the first place! Try it yourself and see how you like it.
